I take the premise of a video game character gaining sentience and questioning his world order and the logic of appearances extremely seriously

That might be good I guess, but it's also only a kids movie

I love the references but agree theyre awful. I love the video game characters in pixels. Its a very bad movie.

I mean it would be so easy to give us a movie about burnt out competitive gamers who's game is no longer popular, along with their existential struggles

Because they're usually written by guys who know next to nothing about video games.

Because most of them are made by people who haven't played a game since the 80s or 90s.

And directors who are gamers tend to let it subtly influence their works rather than basing their works around it.

Halt and Catch Fire is an example of it done RIGHT though. You can tell Cam cares more about games than any kind of pushing future tech shit.

From what I know, they basically abandoned the video game theme and went for general Internet culture.

It's you, so this isn't serious, but if it was serious, I would have to point out Dexter's character and specifically that fucking cringey dance scene... like wtf why did that even happen?

I do not receive notifications, so using the @ feature will not do anything. I might see your post and respond though if I have already been in the topic.

its more of a stoner comedy that just happens to be about gamers and a videogame company, I dont think the movie has like a ton of game references or anything iirc
